She clambercd through window, but be-
came fastened and hung there in terrible

Her hands are burned to crisp While in

close to the mothers breast. Suddenly they
fell to the floor and the flames encircled

Jacob Sharp Sentenced to States Prison
A Stay Granted.
NEW YORK, July 16.-The boss boodler.
Jacob Sharp, was sentenced Thursday by
Judge Barrett to four years in the peniten-
tiary and fine Of s., 600. In passing the SEN
tence the Judge said he could see no reason for
mercy in the case. Sharp was clearly guilty
and the fact that he was old and i'll could not
be urged in extenuation of his crime or miti-
cation OF the penalty. A motion for a new
trial was promptly denied and stay of pro-
ceedings refused, the judge saying that he
could not justify a stay on the facts in the
case.
Sharp was very weak and listless He had
slept poorly during the night and his de-
voted wife had hardly slept at all, remaining
awake by his bedside to minister to his wants
when he awoke, as no did frequently Mrs
Sharp was very much affected during tho
judges remarks and when the sentence was
pronounced. There was great crowd pres
ent and an attempt at applause when the
judge had passed sentence on the prisoner,
but the applause was promptly checked The
tlrong outside, however. gave vent to its APP
prevail in ringing cheer when the sentence
was announced.
Sharp was taken bnck TO Jail, his weakness
requiring his assistance by two men as he
tottcred along
New YORK, July 1S-The argument on
the order to show cause why permanent
stay of execution of the sentence OF Jacob
Sharp should not be granted was not heard
Monday. The district attorney informed
Sharp's counsel that he was not prepared to
80 ON. A former motion to postpone was
made before Judge Potter, of the supreme
court chambers aud the hearing was put Off
until next Friday by consent of both sides.
